On Saturday night, Scott Walker made a stop during his non-campaign presidential campaign tour at the Gridiron Club and Foundation Dinner, an event where corporate politicians and corporate media get together for an evening of zinging themselves and each other.

Even before Walker got there, he got his chops busted on his inability to answer even the simplest of questions:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a 2016 GOP presidential hopeful who has bemoaned media coverage of the race, was also attending.

“We had to make some concessions to get Gov. Scott Walker to appear,” Page said. “His people asked us to avoid gotcha questions—meaning no questions that end with a question mark.”

It's hard for Walker to be taken seriously when he's complaining about other candidates' campaign finances. During the recall of 2012, Walker raised $30.5 million, most of that coming from out of state donors like the Koch Brothers. One donor, Diane Hendricks, the woman seen in the video pushing Walker to make Wisconsin a right to work state, gave Walker more than a half million dollars alone.

During the 2014 election, Walker was able to raise more than $8 million in just the first half of the year, an was well over $10 million by election day.
